john boehner will do things a little bit differently. we had some major conflict between john boehner and eric cantor. that her what a lot were trying to do. we talk to republicans who were frustrated by that. there is tension between the members, tension between staff. at one point they had to have a press conference or they put their arms around each other. that shows you the needed to show it. maybe some people did not buy it. this time we are hearing the staffs are working better and the members are doing better. they came up with a game plan because they have to be united. they actually have to lead the republican congress. they have to turn it round. host: christian science monitor -- here is your headline. let's listen to what harry reid had to say yesterday. [video clip] >> it is better to dance than to fight. it is better to work together. everything does not have to be a fight. that is the way it has been the past couple of years. everybody should comprehend, especially my senate friends, legislation is the art of compromise an

talk to john boehner and see what he would agree to. there will be no logical appropriations process with respect to those issues in the lame duck. >> who would be among the first of the cabinet secretaries that will be asked to lead the administration? >> i will defer to my democratic colleagues. i have seven nominations. >> i did not know what the plan is. usually in most administrations, people kind of offer their resignations en masse and that the president figure out if there is any of them that they've really got to hang onto. my sense is a lot of the fault have already said they

john boehner will be the next speaker, eric cantor will be the majority leader, and kevin mccarthy will be the majority whip. where it gets interesting is for the conference chairman position. that is currently held by jeb hensarling, who has been a rising star for a while within republican ranks. he was a republican study committee chairman, which is the top conservative position in republican circles in the house. there are two people making a run for conference chairman, tom price, who is also a former committee chairman of the past. he is currently making a bid for conference chairman, and then cathy mcmorris rodgers, and they represent two different modes of the republican party at this point. cathy rodgers is an effective surrogate for romney. she is from the tom foley district in central south washington. it is an agricultural area. spokane is the population center. i believe spokane reaches out to the east, for those of you remember raymond carver stories. she is a charismatic politician. she is able to articulate the republican agenda in a way that is not threatening to people.
